The hokage returned later to check on Sasuke and Naruto and talk about what options the blonde had. She sat down with them and looked at Naruto. "Now, you can get rid of the baby and no one needs to know about this. It would be a simple procedure, perfectly painless. The amount of jutsu we have, I'm sure we could adapt one to fit your situation and-" Naruto cut in as soon as he realised where this conversation was going. "I'm not getting rid of the baby. You as bad as Sasuke!" he said angrily. The hokage stopped what she was saying and looked at Naruto sternly. "Bringing up the baby is an option, but in my opinion not the wisest choice." She said. Sasuke threw Naruto an I-told-you-so look.

The blonde frowned at his boyfriend and turned back the hokage. "Sasuke said he would help me. We could tell everyone the baby is his." Naruto suggested. This time, the raven had something to say to this. "Not.a.chance." he hissed. "I said I would help, not be the thing's mother."

"Sasuke! Don't call the baby a thing!" Naruto said. Sasuke rolled his eyes, but quickly dropped the sarcastic act and his head snapped in the direction of the door. He was sure he could sense that something was wrong. Naruto spoke, and he decided he should listen to the blonde. "in fact I don't care. As long as no one finds out its Orochimaru's baby, there's no reason for anyone to hate him or her." Again Sasuke looked at the door; someone was defiantly out there. He was about to get up, when what Naruto said finally registered. "No reason to hate it? If the fact that it was born from a guy and that person happens to be a Jinchuuriki. You were shunned and your child will be too." Sasuke said. Naruto glared at him.

"If anyone touches my baby I'll rip them to shreds." Naruto said like it was the simplest thing ever. Tsunade's eyebrows shot up. Talk about maternal instinct! "And that includes you Sasuke! One more mention of the 't' word and your sleeping on the sofa." Naruto threatened. The hokage was surprised to see how quiet Sasuke went after that and he didn't dare say termination in front of Naruto throughout the entire conversation. The hokage continued to explain more. "From what I have seen the pregnancy, once it gets past the fourth week, will advance at an alarming rate and it will put a lot of stress on your body. We also desperately need to get the information from Kabuto about healing you completely otherwise it could affect the baby and, with your weakened state, you even more than usual." She said. Sasuke decided that if the hokage couldn't get what she wanted from Kabuto, he would defiantly go back and see what he had thought about his offer.

When they got back, Naruto was already tired. He flopped down on the sofa and was asleep in minutes. Sasuke decided now would be a perfect opportunity. He slipped out of the house, leaving the sleeping blonde behind. Disguising himself as Kakashi went to see Tsunade. Knowing that Kakashi would most probably be 'busy' with Iruka, he thought this would be the best disguise. The hokage let him in and waited for what he was going to say. "I have an idea on how to get Kabuto to talk." He said. The hokage sighed. "Trust me Kakashi, he wont speak. I have just tried again and he seems dead set against remaining silent." He informed him. Sasuke shook his head.

"Can I at least try?" he asked.

The hokage thought for a moment; what did she have to lose? She allowed 'Kakashi' to see Kabuto. Once Sasuke was alone with the medic he dropped the justu. "Back so soon?" Kabuto asked with a smirk.

"Cut the crap and tell me how to heal Naruto." Kabuto stayed silent for a moment, and then finally spoke. "I have decided on your offer; freedom is very tempting. So tempting in fact, I have decided to accept." Sasuke let out a sigh of relief.

"Right. How do I help Naruto then?" he asked. Kabuto smirked again.

"Nice try Sasuke-kun. I will heal Naruto myself once out of here, and then you will let me go. That is the only deal I will participate in." Sasuke agreed instantly; as long as he healed Naruto he didn't care how much trouble he would get in for letting Kabuto loose. He let Kabuto free from his chains and led him out, disguised. Fortunately no one noticed and they probably wouldn't until someone went to check on Kabuto again. They made their way quickly to the Uchiha estate and Sasuke lead Kabuto to where Naruto was sleeping. The medic Nin was quickly given back his chakra and was ordered to heal Naruto. He complied and Sasuke watched as he used a combination of complicated seals.

Minutes later, he was finished and stepped back from the still sleeping blonde. "There. You got what you wanted; Naruto is completely healed." little did he know Sasuke hadn't given back all his chakra and he found that healing Naruto had drained him considerably. He demanded it back, only to be stabbed by Sasuke's chidori. The loud noise woke Naruto up and the blonde gasped, realising what was going on. "What's he doing here?" he asked the raven. Not having much chakra, Kabuto couldn't heal himself. He slumped down in the corner of the room bleeding from where Sasuke had stabbed him. "Don't worry dobe, he healed you. Now he's going to die for what he did to you." Sasuke advanced on Kabuto, pulling out a kunai only to be stopped by Naruto. "Don't!" he said quickly. Sasuke lowered the kunai and looked at Naruto questioningly. "Look, he can hardly fight back and now we don't need any information from him he can go back to the prison. It's not worth killing him and getting in trouble. He's not worth it." he said. Sasuke agreed. They were wondering what they were going to do with Kabuto when the hokage arrived in the house with a small 'pop'.

He threw a glare at Naruto and Sasuke. "What.is.going.on?" she hissed.

"I managed to get him to heal Naruto." Sasuke explained. The hokage looked at Naruto. "W-well done Sasuke." She said reluctantly. Naruto smiled at the raven. She smiled at Kabuto. "Now who has the upper hand bastard?" he asked happily as she motioned for several anbu to move in on Kabuto. They put a bandaged around his chest where Sasuke had stabbed him with chidori and pulled him out. "How did you know he was here?" Sasuke asked.

"Never you mind." She said, heading towards the door. Before she left she turned around and smiled at Sasuke. "By the way, I'm sure Kakashi will be very flattered when he gets back from his mission." She said and closed the door behind herself. Sasuke's jaw dropped; she knew the whole time? "She's too clever for her own good." He mumbled before turning back to the blonde. "I'll take you for some ramen if you like." He told Naruto. A large smile illuminated the blonde face.

"Yeah! Wait… you hate ramen." Sasuke shrugged. "Well, I'm not going to complain." Naruto added, as he grabbed his orange jacket and pulled it on.

Naruto pulled his third bowl of ramen closer and began eating again. "Dobe, slow down! Your going to choke." He told the blonde warningly. Naruto smiled.

"Well, you can always resuscitate me." He told Sasuke, and began eating again at top speed. The raven sighed as he watched Naruto demolish his food. Naruto was too busy eating to notice that they had been followed. Sasuke was too busy watching Naruto intently, making sure the blonde didn't choke on those cursed noodles he loved so much to realise that there were two figures hidden, watching them. "It doesn't seem possible." One of them whispered as they watched Naruto.

"It is. I heard it with my own ears. That monster is pregnant and it's Orochimaru's. The hokage even said it herself." He replied in a hushed voice, obviously trying to keep attention away from them. "We will move in as soon as we can get him away from the Uchiha."

"We could attack now, on their way back." One suggested. The other hit him angrily.

"We can't afford to fight the Uchiha! As soon as the Kyuubi brat is alone, we execute the plan."
